2 meters? That's only 6 feet 4 inches--with visibility that bad, even if the plane and the runway uses ICAO Category IIIc bad weather landing systems, it may not help in this case.

That looks like a “puddle jumper” regional commuter plane, so I don’t know what kind of instruments they were using, if any, for that ride to the island. But they sure flew into something bad. (I haven’t flown a plane since the 70s, and that was a s/e Cessna 172 Skyhawk.)
